Shirone keeps interface copy separate from article content. Navigation, buttons, and notices come from src/i18n/; authors choose the language of each post.

Configure a Language

Set the default interface language in src/config/siteConfig.ts:

export const siteConfig = withUserConfig("site", {
  lang: "en",
});

The code must match a dictionary under src/i18n/languages/. Shirone ships 10 interface locales. lang changes UI copy, not Markdown content.

Add a Translation

1. Copy the closest dictionary.
2. Keep key names and translate values only.
3. Add each new key to every locale.
4. Run npx astro check and pnpm build.

Keys live in src/i18n/i18nKey.ts; components resolve them through i18n(). Bilingual sites commonly use / and /en/ entry points. A post's lang only labels its language and does not create a translation automatically.
